[STEAM] Running Il2 from Logitech Gaming Software Unlists Il-2 as Installed on Steam

[MarderIV]

So I happened on this by accident. I went ahead and ran the game through Logitech Gaming Software accidentally before Steam opened up. I closed the game down very quickly and waited for Steam to log in. Once Steam was up and running, Il-2 suddenly greys out and I have to reinstall it again, despite the fact that the game files is in my hard drive. 

 

Process: 

    1. PC log in, startup apps initiate. Steam not yet finished logging in.

    2. Start Logitech Gaming Software. 

    3. Start Il-2 from Logitech Gaming Software. (Accident)

    4. Quickly close down Il-2. Wait for Steam to finish. 

    5. Steam completes log-in and initiates. 

    6. Attempt to run Il-2 from Steam, but it is now considered uninstalled.

 

 

Just wondering if this happened to anyone else, and what I might be able to do to get around this issue? Or can I play Il-2 as is without Steam considering it "installed"? 

 

I ran through the account link when that last patch hit, so I'm pretty confused at what I should be doing now.
